That is an interesting site. Lot of neet stuff. Almost like being in the future, eh? As far as Eric's LED nav lights, I think that they are a little too large for the skinny Lancair IV wingtips. I don't think that you could get a strobe into the tip with his lights.
 
Bill,
 
Generally, there is no "action" at the mid wing tip loc (at least on a 320), thus my strobe is mounted independently there and sticks out so that all can see it (except for the pilot).  I do not think there is any drag penalty.
 
The other LEDs mentioned seem interesting as long as they match the FAA required light output. 
 
Anyway, I have a great deal of respect for Eric's products derived from today's electronics - I use his Diode for my essential bus and watched a .7 VDC drop go to .2 VDC and, thus, everything  on the bus is happier during engine start.  I also use the Wig-Wag "switch" - so simple to install and it works.   I am intrigued by the power switches.
 
Anyway, I thought that IVs leave a trail of sparks that can be seen for miles..........
